Who loves vintage advertisements? Who loves them even more if they're hilarious?

I find that so many vintage ads that were serious in their day are now really amusing ... like Santa selling smokes, or tapeworms for weight loss, or a whole host of wartime messages ... google images is just full of these things!

Let's make (assuming you don't have ready-made ones!) two postcards - one for each of your two partners - with a vintage ad on the frontside which is amusing to you. The back should be made with a post card template of some sort - you can print one out, or maybe you're lucky enough to have a rubber stamp of one, or you could even put your vintage ad over an existing photo postcard. However you do it, it should be neat & professional enough looking to mail it as a postcard.

Happy hunting!!
